Eeyou Istchee (Cree: ᐃᔨᔨᐤ ᐊᔅᒌ, meaning "The People's Land") is a territory equivalent to a regional county municipality (TE) of Quebec, represented by the Grand Council of the Crees. Its geographical code is 993. As defined by the Grand Council of the Crees, however, the territory of Eeyou Istchee is a much larger contiguous traditional territory and homeland, comprising about 450,000 square kilometres (170,000 sq mi). Together with the TEs of Jamésie and Kativik, it forms the region and census division (CD) of Nord-du-Québec.
